In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare facilities needed immediate facelifts to ensure safer care delivery. The already sensitive hospital environments had a new set of challenges to address. Shree Designs, a Mumbai-based healthcare architecture firm, have designed and executed many efficient and safe healthcare setups in the middle of the pandemic. They are among the few who embraced the immediate changes required for infection control, patient safety, and smooth operations. Kshititi Nagarkar, the principal architect at Shree Designs explains, \u201cCOVID-19 has necessitated the consideration of \u201c3 S Factors\u201d while designing any healthcare facility.   These are Scanning, Sanitizing, and Social Distancing. All our works post-pandemic have particularly focused on these governing factors from a design perspective of spaces.\u201d Their projects are models that explain the most sought-after measures needed to provide solutions across, within, and beyond the pandemic.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Surgical Speciality Oncology, Mumbai<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Surgical Speciality Oncology is a project executed by Shree Designs in the middle of the pandemic following the norms of the country-wide lockdown. Impressing on how clients underpinned their design and execution efforts, Kshititi explains, \u201cClient support was the main factor in getting the project executed in tough times as they made arrangements for separate space and supplies for labour so they could stay at the site to avoid external exposure.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This modern facility is designed with automated lights and blinds to personalize the use and avoid unnecessary exposure to surfaces. Separate tabs for each bed were provided instead of one common TV to enable access to a wider range of information and entertainment for the patient. The facility houses more single and twin sharing rooms rather than general wards because this allows lesser exposure of patients to one another, who already have a compromised immune system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
